AutoMysqlBackup

Automysqlbackup

AutoMySQLBackup with a DB configuration will create Daily, Weekly and Monthly backups of one or more of your MySQL databases from one or more of your MySQL servers.

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in encrypted_file_name(ex: *.enc.gz) -out outputfilename.gz -pass pass:your-password

example :

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in daily_horde_2013-04-26_01h41m_Friday.sql.gz.enc -out daily_horde_2013-04-26_01h41m_Friday.sql.gz -pass pass:01234567899876543210

Mailcontent

you can choose your type of mail send to the admin (log by default)

config setprop automysqlbackup Mailcontent "option"

• log : send only log file (default)
• files : send log file and sql files as attachments
• stdout : will simply output the log to the screen if run manually.
• quiet : Only send logs if an error occurs to the MAILADDR.

Mailto

you can choose the mail account where you sent your mails (default is admin).

config setprop automysqlbackup Mailto "foo@foo.com"

Sizemail

you can determine the size of mails sent (default is 8000 KB).

config setprop automysqlbackup Sizemail "8000"

	Note:
	keep in mind that lot of smtp server reject mail bigger than 10 KB

RESTORING

In a root terminal

cd /root/backup/db/ and choose your backup
gunzip file-name.sql.gz

Next you will need to use the mysql client to restore the DB from the sql file.

mysql database < /path/file.sql

NOTE: Make sure you use < and not > in the above command because you are piping the file.sql to mysql and not the other way around

If you want to play with another user or a remote mysql server you can use this command line

mysql --user=username --pass=password --host=dbserver database < /path/file.sql
